Description ajs 2003-07-15 00:50:58 UTC

It would appear that IBM no longer makes their JDK 1.4.0 available. The
dev-java/ibm-jdk-1.4.0-r1 ebuild requests that a user "Please download
IBMJava2-SDK-14.tgz from https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p".

However, this URL allows JDK 1.3.1 SR% or 1.4.1 to be downloaded. Hence this
ebuild should probably be deprecated (for those who already managed to grab the
download) and/or removed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-java/ibm-jdk

Actual Results:  
emerge dev-java/ibm-jdk
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-java/ibm-jdk-1.4.0-r1 to /
>>> Unpacking source...

!!! ERROR: dev-java/ibm-jdk-1.4.0-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_unpack, Line 27, Exitcode 0
!!! Please download IBMJava2-SDK-14.tgz from
https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p

I just noticed that this problem would be less visible if the 1.4.1 ebuild was marked as available.

This would mask the fact that the 1.4.0 ebuilds are broken for most users.

I just want to go on record yet again and say that I'm really annoyed that we cannot mirror the upstream binaries. Perhaps we should adopt a policy, at least within the Java group, to never mark ebuild where we can't mirror the files as stable?

Fixed on portage tree, marked as testing.
